3 dwm \- dynamic window manager
4 .SH SYNOPSIS
5 .B dwm
6 .RB [ \-v ]
7 .SH DESCRIPTION
8 .B dwm
9 is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
10 modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for
11 the application in use and the task performed.
12 .P
13 In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
14 column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
15 stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
16 resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
17 regardless of the mode selected.
18 .P
19 Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
20 tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
21 tag.
22 .P
23 .B dwm
24 has a small status bar which displays the text read from standard
25 input, if written. Besides that, it displays all available tags, and the title
26 of the focused window. It draws a 1-pixel border around windows to
27 indicate the focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of
28 them displaying their tags and title.
